The #CARECInstitute (CI) successfully held the inception meeting for the “Renewable Energy Investment Ecosystem in Central Asia” project, which is jointly funded by the Islamic Development Bank (#IsDB), the Islamic Centre for Development of Trade (ICDT), and the CI. This meeting marked a significant milestone in the project, which aims to assess and enhance the renewable energy investment landscape across Central Asia. Dr. Asif Razzaq, the Senior Research Specialist and project leader from the CAREC Institute, presented the project’s objectives and the proposed outline of the report. The report is structured into two key sections: the first focuses on the “Energy Investment Ecosystem,” identifying key drivers and challenges, while the second delves into operational issues, particularly those related to Investment Promotion Agencies (IPAs) and regulatory frameworks. Dr. Razzaq emphasized the importance of these pillars in shaping effective policy recommendations that can drive sustainable energy investments throughout the region. Dr. Ghulam Samad, the Chief of Research Division at the CAREC Institute, moderated the session, providing strategic guidance to the consultant team and highlighting the project’s critical expectations and broader significance for the future of energy in Central Asia.

Doctoral Candidate | PTDF-DAAD Scholar | Electrochemical energy storage | Energy Transition across Africa | On a mission to drive energy transition through compelling narratives
It is commendable that development finance institutions (DFIs) are "walking the talk". They are on a bull run as regards investing in the #energy sector of emerging markets and developing economies (EMDE), in spite of market risks that deter capital inflow. Also, it is important to note that providing this finance inflow 💰 is critical catalyzing the needed private investment required to significantly upscale clean energy 🌟 investments in these EMDEs. 👏 Kudos to all development finance institutions pushing the boundaries of energy investments in high-risk markets.
#DidYouKnow 👉 There is a huge imbalance capital flows in #energy projects, with 85% of capital flows in #cleanenergy projects being invested in advanced economies & #China 👉 Between 2019 - 2022, development finance institutions (DFIs) invested ~USD 24 billion p.a. in #energy projects, with #Africa, #Asia & #LatinAmerica being the largest beneficiaries - 80% of these investments were done in #cleanenergy projects Source: IEA (2024): World Energy Investment 2024 #ETPulseProject #EnergyTransition

⚡11 Energy Catalyst companies attended EAIF 2024, organized by the Alliance for Rural Electrification and supported by GET.invest, in association with the Rural Electrification Agency of Nigeria. The event gathered 2,200 participants including developers, investors, policymakers, and regulators. Energy Catalyst, led by The Carbon Trust, was one of the forum’s strategic partners, and our delegation was eager to make the most of this valuable opportunity to foster business and investor partnerships, as well as engage in lively discussions. 💫 A key takeaway from Brian Jaoko,(MSc EPM,MEIK): “Energy access is a complex ecosystem and no single player possesses a magical solution that will work everywhere. So collaboration is essential to ensuring solutions are appropriately tailored to the complexities that arise from geography, size, and the nature of each project. More than ever, players must work hand-in-hand to accelerate momentum in the clean energy transition.” 📖 Read the full write-up here: https://lnkd.in/dn4rRCPZ #EAIF2024 #SDG7 #SDG13 #InclusiveEnergy #SolarEnergy #Sustainability #Investment #Decarbonization #EconomicGrowth #ClimateAction #RenewableEnergy

Meanwhile, investments in battery storage are taking off and set to reach $54 billion in 2024 as costs fall further. Yet again, this spending is highly concentrated. For every dollar invested in battery storage in advanced economies and China, only one cent was invested in other emerging and developing economies.

Theme Announcement! We are excited to unveil the theme for the 7th edition of NIEC: "Leading The Way: Becoming An Energy Hub with In-Country Value." Namibia’s journey to becoming a leading energy hub is underway, driven by strategic investments, innovation, and collaboration. To achieve this, we must explore the entire value chain—from resource exploration and renewable energy development to infrastructure expansion, human capital growth, and innovative financing. The conversation will center on the nexus between energy, including renewables and power, and critical sectors such as metals, infrastructure, and capacity building, fueling economic growth and prosperity for Namibia and the broader region. At NIEC 2025, participants will gain insights into the latest exploration updates, investment opportunities, and strategies to unlock Namibia's energy potential. We will highlight financing models that attract capital, enhance local content, and strengthen each link of the energy value chain, fostering a sustainable ecosystem for the future. Join us as we convene leaders, investors, and policymakers to shape the future of energy in Namibia and beyond! #NIEC2025 #LeadingTheWay #EnergyHub #RenewableEnergy #InCountryValue #NamibiaEnergyFuture #RichAfrica RichAfrica Consultancy Ministry of Mines and Energy - NAMIBIA African Energy Chamber
